::Visiting this sacred place as a non-Muslim, you can truly feel, witness, and experience the profound devotion and deep spiritual connection between the people and Allah. The holy shrine evokes overwhelming emotions—there is so much sincerity, and tears flow freely as worshippers express their faith. This visit is even more significant as it marks the martyrdom anniversary of the Commander of the Faithful, Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib. Beyond its spiritual weight, the shrine and mosque stand as one of the most breathtaking places of worship I have ever seen. The feeling is indescribable.

::A sacred site that houses the tombs of two beloved Imams: Imam Musa al-Kadhim (AS) and Imam Muhammad al-Jawad (AS). This esteemed shrine is also the final resting place of several distinguished Islamic scholars and personalities, including Sheikh al-Saduq, al-Mufeed, Sharif al-Radi, and Sayyid Murtadha. The shrine's courtyard has undergone a stunning renovation, adorned with beautiful tiles identical to those found in the Mecca mosque and the historic Kufa Mosque. Approaching the shrine is an unforgettable experience, as the majestic dome rises prominently in the distance, filling the heart with reverence and awe. The Kadhimain Shrine is a testament to the rich spiritual heritage of Islam and a beacon of inspiration for pilgrims and seekers of knowledge.

Everything is facilitated for both locals and tourists. I highly recommend it for everyone to see the structure inside, learn about the story behind the reason people visit this place daily.

::Al-Kadhimiyya Mosque, is a Shi'a Islamic mosque and shrine located in the Kādhimiya suburb of Baghdad, Iraq. It contains the tombs of the seventh and ninth Twelver Shī'ī Imāms, respectively Mūsā al-Kādhim and his grandson Muhammad al-Jawad. Also buried within the premises of this mosque are the historical scholars Shaykh Mufīd and Shaykh Naṣīr ad-Dīn aṭ-Ṭūsi. The mosque was built on the site of a Quraysh cemetery, which was created with the original Round City of Baghdad in 762. The cemetery in an old Arab town named "Shoneezi" (Meaning the Black Grain) was founded by Abbasid Caliph al-Mansur so that members of his family and internment can be buried in it. It is generally believed that Zubaidah bint Ja'far and al-Mansur himself were also buried in this location. The town, along with its tombs, would become al-Kadhimiya, an area and suburb located north of central Baghdad. The current building dates to the restoration carried out by the Safavid Iranian Shah Ismail I from 1502 to 1524. It was further ornamented by the Ottoman Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent after he conquered Baghdad in 1534. Since then, it has continued to be kept in a state of good repair. An architectural wonder that I recommend everyone to visit and checkout.

::Well maintained shrine. Soothing experience and clean surroundings. The security is pretty tight and hectic but however the view makes it for all. You will find the place usually crowded.
